I've always been a big fan of the HP (later Compaq) iPaq range; I've had lots of them over the years, and never once had a hardware problem of any kind with them.
Thanks for the tip.

Hm. I just searched ebay and found about a hundred accessories for the Ipaq 4700, but only a few actual 4700s. Do you have a secret search method? I put in a couple of bids, but it looks like interest is strong. They'll probably bounce up in price before the end.

Any similar models I might look for?
